Not only shouldn't the man arrested for the car crash that killed "A Christmas Story" director Bob Clark have been behind the wheel, authorities say, he shouldn't have been in the country.
Hector Velazquez-Nava, 24, was arrested Wednesday in Los Angeles on suspicion of gross vehicular manslaughter in the brutal two-car collision that left Clark and his 22-year-old son dead.
Police said they believed Velazquez-Nava was driving drunk--reportedly testing at three times above the legal blood-alcohol limit.
Though listed by police as a resident of Los Angeles, Velazquez-Nava is officially a Mexican national illegally in the United States, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The feds have placed a "detainer" on Velazquez-Nava, meaning that once the California legal system is done with him, the man will be deported.
Velazquez-Nava is currently being jailed on $1 million bail. Charges could be filed as early as Friday.
